I LOVE this update. And, maybe you're more of a "light pole". I admire your responses here to much; what wonderful command you had over your emotions. You continue to show him that 1) you won't settle for the old relationship and 2) he's dealing with a different (better) person (who he'd better not mess with). Lastly, your compassion is inspiring. We are as harmed as we choose to feel and in this situation you clearly rose above all the terrible stuff that happened. I don't know - you may be skinny but lighthouse may still better represent how strong and bright you are.
